An iPhone X now costs $1,700 in India

Apple has raised the prices of iPhones in India.

The price hikes, effective immediately, come less than a week after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government said it was increasing import duties on mobile phones. Tariffs on some parts and accessories are also going up.

India is already one of the most expensive places in the world to buy an iPhone, and 14 of Apple's(AAPL) latest models -- from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone X -- will now cost about 3% more.

The 256 GB version of the iPhone X, for example, will cost 109,000 rupees ($1,700) -- an increase of $50. The same version in the U.S. costs $1,149.

While the change will impact other smartphone brands as well, top rivals such as Samsung(SSNLF) and Xiaomi already make most of their Indian phones locally. Apple imports an estimated 90% of its devices.
